Next set the BIOS on the target machine to have the CD/DVD drive be first in the boot order, before the internal hard drive. See http://www.hiren.info/pages/bios-boot-cdrom and http://pcsupport.about.com/od/fixtheproblem/ss/bootorderchange.htm On some computers you can press F10 or F12 during boot and select the boot device.
Once the CD is booted you can select the image to install.
WARNING: Installing an image will erase all data on the target computer
Once your image is installed you will be prompted to reboot power off etc. Select reboot.
Remove the CD from the drive so it won't boot again.
Your image is installed!
